Malcolm climbs Ethiopia, 29 Mt Arapiles, Australia

- Ethiopia, 29 is one of Arapiles' classic hard routes. Funky moves, smearing feet, baby bum rock with a roof crack to finish - it has it all. It's an extension of India, 28 (which branches off right after the stem rest).
Malcolm owns this line. I reckon he's getting close to a hundred ascents including the infamous tuxedo and top hatted ascent on his 50th birthday. For the legions of you who revile India's crux here's how Malcolm does it. There's a trick to it and that trick is to be strong. Many people who climb Ethiopia think the hardest move is actually India's crux - the crux that's ruined climibing careers.
Apologies for the pommy voices at the start. I don't know how to, or care enough, to edit them out. Enjoy the route!
Beautiful sequences. Incredible footwork.
Well done Horsham Bruce. All the shinglebacks will be having a party at the milkshake place in Nati!
Malcolm, you are an absolute maestro Sir! May you long continue.
Good on ya HB ... I don't think I've ever been so terrified as being in the back of your Torana in the 80's going out some granite crag near Melb.
So he was 58 years old when he climbed this ( based on that he was born 1961).....Unreal!!!. You GO HB......aka "Horsham Bruce" ......Met him, and climbed with him at Araps in 1989.....
You are a superb climber keep it up Malcolm.
awesome Malcolm such a master
Truly this man is the son of god….
Soooo smooth!
A wonderful climber.
Legend!
Good stuff. I didn't finish this.

did you guys rap down and place the gear before his redpoint or did someone climb it before him while placing gear? sorry if this sounds like a noob question 😆
Draws placed on rap for this kind of ascent.
awesome Malcolm such a master
